I have the Air Hockey and Ping pong tables on order.
I thought it being the first day of term we should move in and make ourselves at home.

Thanks Owls am only 15 weeks but 17 weeks is going to be a big hurdle!

digitalgirl · 30/09/2010 11:41

Good news on the HCG hairy and good luck with the scan.

Can't believe you're 15 weeks already magic8 seems to have flown by (although imagine it's gone incredibly slowly for you).

Only four more sleeps till my temp drops(or not). Went up again today, higher than it got last cycle. Am 11dpo which was my peak temp last cycle and after that it started dropping, so the next few days are going to be quite nerve-wracking.

owlshoes · 30/09/2010 11:46

That's more like it - I was starting to think time was going past faster than was ordinarily possible. I bet it's really dragging for you and our other lovely grads.

Will keep things crossed for you until you're well over the 17 week hurdle :)

LottieCrump · 30/09/2010 18:58

Hairy - that sounds excellent. You must be sleeping a little easier hon?

Magic8 - wow that has seemingly gone by quickly for us)!

Digi - when you say 'progesterone withdrawal', do you mean a natural progesterone drop or are you self medicating?
Just curious as this month I have started on the well document Serenity cream application post OV but am not sure how I know when to stop or if I stop having tested.

Have taken a lickle break from MN as was obsessing and stressing myself out a little too much.

Have been lurking occasionally though and it's lovely to poke my head in see you all!

digitalgirl · 01/10/2010 16:41

lottie am not taking progesterone supplements, but have noticed that as temp drops so does my general demeanour - get quite depressed and knackered for a couple of days. But soon as period comes my energy levels and optimism shoot back up.

Temp currently still high so am still feeling hopeful. Smile

hairytriangle · 01/10/2010 17:14

Thanks Lottie yes I'm sleeping a little easier, I'll feel better if the scan looks normal though!

LottieCrump · 01/10/2010 20:51

Ooh digi, now that is exciting! Fingers crossed. x

I've been skulking as have been suffering from TTC/MN overload.

Completely get you Hairy. IF I ever get upduffed again I'm sure I'll be the same. Things are sounding really good for you though so try and chillax lady. X

PrettyVacant1 · 02/10/2010 09:42

'member me. Grin

Hello, Hairy great news kidda!
Hello Lottie Smile
Digi what gives? Would you like me to put my suspenders on? Grin

I've taken up the violin as I've been a right whinging wuss, mood swings would be an understatement!!!

Was fed up with feeling poo so went to see if doc could help, he said I've got carpel tunnel syndrome and with IBS and M.E also flaring up he has agreed to put me down next Tue. Grin

Have to sport sexy wrist splints for bed so that'll add to the romance! Wink
Can't take daily anti inflammatories with IBS and TTC.
Boo!
Crappy paracetamol it is then.

Loves to everyone else, might see if I can get an app for speech to text, then you'll all be sorry!

Hello lovely PV!

digitalgirl · 02/10/2010 15:10

pv yes please put your suspenders on - but only if you don't snag them on your wrist splints Grin

You sound as though you're going through the mill a bit. Have you seen a nutritionist about your ibs? Or even an acupuncturist? I used to have ibs when at uni (bad diet), my knees would buckle at the awful stabbing pains I used to get.

Held off from testing this morning despite having my third triphasic temp. And thinking I really should wait and see if my temp plummets on Monday before cracking open a test. Am already worried about these pmt-cramps. The less I know the better at this stage.

digitalgirl · 03/10/2010 10:17

Hellooo? Anyone there?!

Did a test this morning and it's a BFP!!!

Will call epau tomorrow to book in for 6 week scan. And for now I'm going to allow myself to be happy!

Magic8ballhastheanswers · 03/10/2010 10:23

WHOOP!!!!! Digi wonderful news!!!

CaribouMoo · 03/10/2010 12:08

Digiiiiiiiiii!!!! That's amazing news! The temps were a dead give away, I was just saying on the other thread a few days ago mine have jumped higher again all 4 times. Well done pal and good on you for making sure you enjoy it x

Lottie I was wondering where you had gotten to, hope you're in a better headspace now x

PV poor you, that sounds like an awful combo. I know its not funny but I had a wee chuckle at your description of seduction with your hand splint thingies on overnight. Hope you enjoyed your party.

8s are you still sane in your kitchen jumble? Must be nearly there now.

Hope everyone else is good and the weather isn't quite as miserable where you are

nickstermum · 03/10/2010 12:09

Sooper Dooper news - well done on the BFP digi Grin Grin

DIGITALGIRL YOU LITTLE STUNNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GrinGrinGrinGrinGrinGrinGrinGrin

LadyBee · 03/10/2010 14:28

ok.

Now don't you dare panic about those cramping-achey stuff. It's absolutely normal that your uterus is going to feel a leetle bit irritated and odd so just brush it off.

Oh that's such good news. Am dead chuffed for you.

digitalgirl · 03/10/2010 15:28

Aw, thanks so much for the congrats, feeling a bit teary...it's only been a few hours but lovely to know you're all here to hold my hand whatever happens.

Feels like I've been ttc for ages, but in reality it was only 4 cycles since the last mc (all 60 or 40 dayers though).

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 03/10/2010 15:46

Afternoon all - haven't posted on here before but just popped in from t'other thread to say CONGRATS digi !!!! Fab news!!!!! x

tigger15 · 03/10/2010 17:29

Hello everyone I was just about to suggest a similar thread after I discovered I was taken off the last one. Angry If anyone there remembered I had said I was going to take a break owing to being on verge of nervous breakdown but that's no reason to wipe me off the list!!! Like others on here I've also been feeling more and more out of place on the original list. You're just at a different stage when you're on cycle 17 with no success than someone who's on cycle 2 and stressing it will never happen. Anyway rant over.

I am now in a much better (mental) place. I have just got a really amazing new job and life is seeming much better. Plus my cycle seems to be getting longer this month (currently on day 28 whereas usually RTD comes on 24). I know I'm not upduffed as have already POAS twice to confirm this can't be the case. So all in all I think things are improving.

Hairy I'm absolutely thrilled to see your news and really hope it all goes ok. Digi glad to see yours as well.

Does anyone want to do a list for this thread? By now that was the main attraction on the old thread. Feel free to add yourselves.

Tigger15 TTC#2 cycle 17 UCL24-9 CD28

hairytriangle · 03/10/2010 18:20

Hi Tigger thanks hon, and a big
Not any where in the clear yet, early, early days and am trying to stay as positive as poss!

LottieCrump · 03/10/2010 19:24

Digi - Wow,huge congrats doll! That's been a while coming and a rough ride and I'm made up for you. X

Hi Caribou - yup just been struggling to be sociable (on MN and RL) and then on Friday a good friend emailed me and invited us over for lunch and told me that she's pregnant with no. 2. As you've all experienced before, though you're happy for your friends (without a doubt) it also touches a nerve.

Will stop being down in the mouth and try and push myself back on track. Have been frequently boob checking (areola specifically today actually!) and observing random 'pingy' cramp feelings. So, we'll see.

Sorry for self-indulgence. Have missed you all and there's a lot of good news about at the mo.
Glad to see you back Tigger.

Hi PV!

Hello to everyone else.

ps Hope Dachs is OK.
